The first wave of Arkham City figures sucked balls. I'm not optimistic for how these will turn out.

Joker is probably one of the most ridiculous things ever. God, it's just...dumb-ugly. Haven't played the games, but I'd take an Azrael.

It's Joker pumped full of an advanced form of Bane's "venom" called the "titan formula". It is ridiculous but makes sense in the context of Arkham Asylum and makes for kind of a weird & funny finale. Amazing game. I still have to get into Arkham City, I've only seen Azrael once briefly in-game so far but I'm liking his figure the most as well. Still not sure if I need any of these in my collection though, I'll likely just get a Batman for my video game figures shelf that I'm currently conceptualizing.

I saw something about that in the game thread, but he just looks so freaking stupid. Like, 90s EXXXTREME!!! stupid.

JOKER SMASH!
And that little tuft of hair just makes him that much more 90s short bus overkill. Doomsday and Hulk double-teamed a zombie clown and it all somehow came together as...that. And it's growing carrots in its skull.

^^ Those are not too bad, but I don't really like the hip/crotch area of Catwoman.
What is the story behind the Grey-scale figures?

What is the story behind the Grey-scale figures? It represents the cover of the game, the two of them in black and white, except for the eyes.

So Riddler doesn't come with his glasses after all. That sucks.

I might pick up Riddler, just to pose him like the character trophy. these are pretty mediocre, especially Catwoman....i do want croc, though

is there any plan on releasing alternate character skins? i'd be all for a Beyond, TAS (Bats, Robin, nightwing, cat), and red Robin.
maybe even a TAS pack with TAS Joker as a bonus?

A 6" Batman TAS line would be amazing, but I doubt it's possible with all the license issues.

Wish I would've remembered this thread when I went on my spree of buying the figures, but oh well. I'm sure more hauls will be incoming with Origins series 1 and AC 2-packs right around the corner. AC 2-packs: Here's what we have to look forward to from Origins series' 1 & 2: There is a 5th figure in series 2 that is being kept under wraps for spoilers, I think you can find who it is online but if you do find out please be discreet. And in case anyone missed it, they've finally announced an Arkham City Two-Face as well.

Deadshot's parka looks pretty dumb too.
So far I'm really not feeling the Arkham Origins character designs. Hopefully it's just a cosmetic thing and not a sign of the quality of the game itself.

I think Batman & Bane look cooler than ever and Deathstroke looks fantastic. The rest are questionable, but I'm guessing the quality of the game will make me want to buy all of these fuckers once again.

The new packaging is weird. Is it supposed to be the shape of the batclaw? Or is it just a random odd shape? It doesn't bother me since I'm an opener, I just don't quite get what they're going for. I guess it's eye-catching?
